Oh my.

The things the primitives invent.

But none of it's ever as good as my invention of sour cream on corn-on-the-cob.

What I learned today...(Nutella thread)

When one has a guest who'd like some coffee (fortunately, you have one of those cute little 'single pot' foil bags of Columbian Supremo stashed in the freezer)...and she takes 'cream and sugar, thank you'...but you're out of milk because you haven't gone shopping yet...

You can:
 
A). open one of the several cans of sweetened condensed milk you picked up at Mr. Thrifty's to have on hand "just in case..." or B). You can stir a teaspoon of Nutella into it.

You know what? They're both good answers!

A very small dollop of the sweetened condensed milk in this STRONG coffee is utterly PERFECT flavor, richness, and...well...texture-wise...and Nutella doesn't sweeten coffee so much as take just the barest edge off the bitterness, and you get that chocolate/hazelnut bouquet, but it's not OVERWHELMING (like a St*****k's-type beverage).

Who knew? 

Now I gotta make some fudge to use up the rest of the can of S/C milk though.

Oh well...

1. Nutella on a spoon and licked clean .......

.... leads to another ....... and another ........ and another ...........

Being a 208-pound behemoth who's supposed to be losing weight, if I were the sparkling husband primitive, I wouldn't mess with it.

3. Pretzels

Dunk some in a jar of Nutella. See how many you eat before you can stop yourself.

What a way to gorge!

2. Thankie for the tip! My tip ------> Nutella and cream cheese on a bagel.

Yum.

Finally.....the primitive woman bothered by cold weather asks the question on the tip of franksolich's tongue:

4. I dunno.

I've never had the stuff. Looks gross like a cross between peanut butter and chocolate?

What is it really?

To franksolich, it looks like one of those Vegemite things.

And because it looks the way it does, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot primitive.

5. Creamy chocolate and hazelnut. The hazelnut flavor does something special to chocolate.

Its not crunchy though...its very smooth. If you do tv, Giada De Laurentis uses it on her show often.

10. I've done the S/C milk thing, but I would never have thought of Nutella.

You just know that I'll have to buy a jar this weekend and try it.

Looks like it's a chocolate substitute. I wouldent touch it with a 10 primitive either Frank.

It's very, very popular in Europe.....they put it on all kinds of stuff. Pastry, toast, bread, ice cream, yogurt, and on and on.

I tried it....I dearly love chocolate....I like chocolate and hazelnuts together...I didn't like Nutella.

I expected it to be a more "chocolate-y" flavor.

Most of the women I was with....liked it.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Nutella is a chocolate substitute.

I keep a container of the stuff around to use in cooking chocolaty things like muffins.

It doesn't really need refrigeration, keeps for ages and is low fat and low GI.

That tells me it's the spawn of hell.

Putting your nuts in coffee is popular in Europe?  Guess you learn something new everyday.
